Book Description
Excerpt from Draughts Praxis, or Modern Match Games: A Practical Guide to Scientific Checkers The study of games that have been played across the board, as a guide to practical Skill, cannot be too highly commended. The examples given in this work are eminently suitable for that purpose, being the product of the Combined skill of the finest players of the present day, Opposed to each other in Match or Tourney play. The Chapter for Beginners, and Notes to the Games, Will enable the tyro to pick up the points of the game; and the explanation Of the important element, the Move, and examples, of its practical application in many Of the Elementary End Games, will greatly assist him to extend his knowledge of the subject. As regards the arrangement of the play, that adopted in the jordan-freedman and English Tourney Games commends itself to the learner while the style followed in the Scottish Tourney Games is the handiest for purposes of reference. Play on the Switcher Opening (11-15, 21-17, 9-13) is given under the heading Edinburgh, Part I (9-13, 21 Several of the other Openings may be run into each other in. Similar fashion, and my original intention was to combine the play under one Opening in the same way but the reflection that there would thus be lost to the student many valuable lessons on the trans formation Oi one Opening into another, decided me to give the remainder of the games as played. A few variations arising from different Openings are thus repeated, the full continuation being given in each instance, being much handier for the student than a note of reference to another page for the play. The lamented death Of my esteemed friend, Mr. Richard jordan, is deplored by all draughts players; but his games will for ever keep his name alive, and the record of. His last great match is not the least interesting feature of this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
